This wasn't my 1st trip down the Rogue River with Noah’s Wilderness Adventures, and somehow they continue to raise the bar every single time. This year was especially incredible. The river was beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the wildlife seemed to be out in full force. We spotted animals throughout the trip and were constantly reminded just how special the Wild & Scenic Rogue truly is.

The guides are what make this experience unforgettable. They kept us laughing, shared stories and fascinating river history, accommodated dietary restrictions with care, and served some of the best food you could imagine enjoying in the wilderness. They also knew exactly where to find the splashiest lines through the rapids while always making safety their top priority.

As part of our yoga and rafting retreat, they created an environment that was adventurous, relaxing, welcoming, and deeply connected to the river. The Rogue River keeps calling us back, but it's the people at Noah's Wilderness Adventures who make it feel like coming home.

Noah’s provides an amazing adventure down the Rogue! The guides- Tessa, Trenton, Leon, Tanner, Kellan, Tillman, & Ben were incredibly personable, kind, professional, and worked their butts off!!! They encourage us to push ourselves while also protecting the feeling of being secure & safe. Our group of 23 had an excellent time- adults and teens combined. Highly recommend this rafting outfit!

We had a 12 person party consisting of family on a 3 day lodge trip 6/30-7/2/2026. the trip was outstanding from start to finish With Noah's Wilderness Adventures. The Guides, Mike, Billy and Tilly were professional, informative and fun! The food was great, and the lodges (Black Bar and Paradise) were quite comfortable. Of note is I have a 38 year old hemispherical spinal cord injury affecting my right side, and I am elderly (79). They enthusiastically helped get me up to the lodges and back to the river. While on the river, they assured I was comfortable and felt safe. I never felt they resented having to do this. My entire family was treated well, and this turned out to be the trip of a lifetime for all of us, thanks to Noah's and its crew. I recommend them without reservation!

We had a fabulous time on a camping and lodging rafting trip. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Hugh. He took the time to call me days before the trip to let me know the weather was not going to be ideal. Then his crew went out of their way to ensure we stayed warm. I thought it was great they allowed us to use their fleece sweaters and provided warm water for washing our hands.

It was special to see the American flag on our tail raft. The guides were exceptional and they really cared. They ensured our kayakers knew the best approach to the white water rapids. I loved it that they shared meals with us at the lodge and offered extra hikes. I would highly recommend Noah’s and hope to get take another amazing trip. Thanks so much Hugh and gents!! My family and I will always treasure the memories of our trip down the Rogue River.

Just got off of a 4 day, 3 night raft supported hiking trip with Noah's. An unforgettable weekend. Our guides, Tanner, Mike and Leon were kind, calm and cool through it all. They made our group of twelve adventurous and talkative ladies feel safe and WELL taken care of. And they were so knowledgeable- of the river, its wildlife, the trail and the history. And just lovely humans to get to know a little bit. The pre trip coordination was smooth and thorough (Thanks Hugh!). Our hearts and our bellies are full coming off this trip. I can't begin to express enough gratitude for the professionalism, organization, skill and warmth of the Noah's crew. Hairy side up!

The team at Noah’s is AMAZING!!! We did the 4 day, 3 night camping trip, and were impressed the entire way, from first contact, calling and asking multiple questions, to introduction and through our entire trip. The food was off the charts incredible, seriously. The guides and support crew were extremely knowledgeable, personable and made us feel as if we were part of their family. If you’re going to raft the Rogue, Noah’s is the only choice in our opinion.

What an amazing trip! From the moment we arrived to our ride
home, Noah's thought about every detail and attempted to anticipate every need! The guides where some of the hardest working, knowledgeable, funny and thoughtful people that I have met in the service industry. We had a wide range of ages, from early teen to 70's and the trip was perfect for them all. All of the gear, from boats and kayaks to the tents and cots, were in such great condition - I felt spoiled the whole time! The food was amazing, from breakfast in the morning to the amazing meals with ice cream on day 2!! The scenery on the Wild and Scenic is breathtaking, the knowledge and hikes that we got to experience was awesome! I could not recommend this trip more, I would do it every year or more if I could. Thank you Noah's and all the guides that made this an experience that I will never forget!

Noah's provided us with a camping/lodge trip for my 50th birthday, and it was amazing! All 21 of us on the trip had a great time. We especially enjoyed the interaction with the guides and the quality of the food provided. The camping gear and rafting equipment were top-notch. This is a must-do trip that I can't recommend more highly!

Noah's Rafting Guides are top notch! They guided us through rapids with skill and confidence while allowing the fun of the adventure seek through. We celebrated a 50th Birthday on the River with a group of 21 friends and family (from kids to grandparents) and everyone in our group can't wait to return. Thank you Tilly, James, T-Bo, Tessa, Ben and Trenton for a trip of a Lifetime!

This entire experience was outstanding, from the booking process all the way through the camping/rafting trip itself. This company really is exceptional & I can't wait to enjoy a future trip with them. Hugh does a fantastic job of communicating with his customers and making sure the process is smooth. Launch day was very informative. Safety is a big priority with this company and we certainly appreciated the extra care this team took to ensure that. When it came to the river guides themselves, there was no doubt this company employs the absolute A TEAM ! Very professional and very fun crew! They truly treat you like royalty!

What a wild and beautiful experience with Noah's Wilderness Adventures! My daughter and 3 grandsons (ages 9-12) and I had a trip of lifetime filled with forever memories. Hugh was very attentive to my concerns about my grandsons' safety, as well the very experienced and knowledgeable guides. We ate and were treated like royalty, my grandsons kayaked the rapids and we were enveloped in spectacular scenery, all the while learning the history of this scenic river. I couldn't recommend Noah's experience higher. Thank you!
